The first of a three-stage municipal traffic safety campaign entitled “Por un Mazatlán Seguro, Construimos Futuro” which began on June 3 is in full swing.
Municipal authorities and civil associations have taken to the streets to remind drivers of the mandatory use of seatbelts, non-use of cell phones while driving and not driving while drinking for car owners, and the mandatory use of helmets and one passenger policy for motorcycle owners.
The second phase begins June 15 with a “zero tolerance” edict from the municipal police. Drivers pulled over for any traffic infractions, including no license or license plate, will be automatically fined.
The third phase will consist of a crusade against “mordidas” or bribes to traffic police. The President of Canaco-Servytur, Óscar Tirado Bernal, said the complimentary anti-bribe campaign is to ensure the issuance of fines in the zero tolerance phase does not convert into a pretext to issue more tickets than required.
